I don't agree that we should create a "gentoo" root directory; however,
to be technical, /usr/portage is wrong.I will list what My thoughts would be below your suggestions. Keep in mind that this is just being thrown out there without thinking about the details all that much. > 20K /gentoo/tmp Maybe /tmp? > 20K /gentoo/overlays This isn't on everyones system, so I think it is up to the user and what you are putting in it.

They are logs so they should go where all other logs are. > 36K /gentoo/var/lib/portage /var/lib/portage is ok for this I think. > 43M /gentoo/var/db/pkg /var/db/pkg is fine for this I think. > 940K /gentoo/var/cache/edb Maybe /var/cache/portage/edb? > 2.7M /gentoo/packages /var/cache/portage/packages? What do you think? William
